And here we have Idaho


Congratulations to Steve who is now certifiably licensed to practice law in the great state of Idaho. See it for yourself here. Apparently, my brother Ryan also took and passed the Idaho Bar, which explains his recent bout of overworkedness.

Hooray for Steve. Two states down, 48 to go!

Does he really have to get certified in all 50 states or is it just one of his personal "I like to do this in my free time" goals?! Anyway, congrats!

Props to Steve. I'm not sure most people would like to pass a bar in even one state, so he's way ahead of the rest of us.

Is he taking Utah's bar? Or is there reciprocity between UT and AZ?

If we ever cross over the Idaho state line together, I could sing the state song for you. AG

Lyndzee, no he doesn't. It was just a joke.

Pepper, yes, he will take the UT bar in July. Fun times.

Nice work Steve! Did Ryan really take the Idaho bar just for kicks? Maybe he and Steve can support the justice system in Salmon some day.

I'm thinking Ryan Dean could pass the bar as easily as Ryan Kent did.

Anyone else?

I just read this scripture quoted in a blog comment thread, alluding to. . .me. 2 Nephi 9:28 28 O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. The context: I had suggested that Ezra Taft Benson's political views as expressed in 1968 before he was the prophet were not the official political views of the church, and shouldn't be construed as such. It is actually not the first time this month that I've been told through scriptural references that I am a wicked person {my extrapolated take-away from the conversations}. I give up.

Another taboo topic: money

I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that. Mortgage: I figure out the percentage it will take to cover my mortgage. Usually 29-30%. I think this percentage needs to stay under 35% of take-home after tithing. Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps. This means that you focus on one thing at a time, leaving the rest so that your money is not so thinly spread and you can make visible progress. This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i
